Five small hills north of Myrdalsvatnet

A return to Myrdalsvatnet for a visit of the five remaining small hills to the north. Nice views from Limesbrotet and Kattuglehaugane/Barkahaugane, which could all be reached fairly easily. Kattuglefjellet and Fjellet on the other hand had limited views and lots of vegetation to fight with. It was probably a good choice to visit all of these summits in the winter time. I also passed by the remains of Johnsahytta and made a short detour to Myrdal Våpenlager. Overall, not the most exiting hike but still ok. Pretty sure these will be my only visits to all of the summits involved though.
